As the summer in quarantine winds down, and many cities remain in half-lockdown, half-reopened states of purgatory, it’s become harder and harder to pass the time in the heat. There’s only so many times you can go to the beach (while social distancing) or sip to-go drinks in the park before you begin to long for an air-conditioned movie theater, or spontaneously hugging friends at a crowded bar. Appropriately, the music I’ve listened to this summer skews less towards party jams and more towards the slower, mellower stuff — guitar reverb,...

There’s nothing like a good car chase in a movie. Maybe it’s the daring-do of the stunt drivers that makes you feel you’re in danger even though you’re comfortably in your seat, or the high stakes of the moment in which the characters we’re rooting for will either get out of the situation or have a gruesome finale, but an impressive car-chase scene can make even a mediocre movie a beloved classic. What makes a car chase legendary, you ask? They’re the ones that keep you at the edge of your seat and actually fit in with the rest of the plot.

The Fast and Furious movies aren't the only ones with great car chases. Join us as we take a look at the 50 best car chase scenes in film. This week, we're counting down from #25 to #1!
Like peanut butter and jelly, car chases and movies are two things that just go together perfectly. A chase is inherently interesting to watch - someone is trying their best to get away by any means possible, while the other party is trying to stop them from doing so. The danger involved, the threat of violence, and even the thrill of the hunt are all part of why we often can’t look away. A car chase is the next level of chase. They are fast - an embodiment of man and machine together. They are also dangerous - the stakes are incredibly high, and not just for the people involved in the chase.

Red’s Planet Book 1
By Eddie Pittman
Amulet, 192 pages, $19.95/9.95
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but there appear to some things that are universally acclaimed, so science fiction is rife with aliens that like to collect things. Add to the growing list the Aquilari, who ply the spaceways in their flying saucer, scooping up rare and fascinating artifacts. Their most recent acquisition is a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500, refurbished into a rural Georgia police car. When the aliens gather it, they did not stop to inspect the contents so they were in for a surprise when out pops a 10-year red-headed girl.
This human, known only as Red, is the focal point of the web comic turned graphic novel Red’s Planet from Disney animator Eddie Pittman (Mulan, Tarzan, Lilo & Stitch, Phineas & Ferb). Launched in 2011 when his own daughter was 10, Pittman has found a wonderful premise for an all...

Washington -- Streaming music services such as Pandora and Spotify promise a seemingly limitless song selection for listeners and actual royalties for artists. But amid growing complaints from artists that the Internet music services are hardly ideal for their bottom line, Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has become the best-known artist to pull his music from Spotify.
Yorke yanked his band Atoms For Peace's album, along with his 2006 solo album "The Eraser," from the site. Radiohead's longtime producer and a Yorke collaborator, Nigel Godrich, has joined the crusade. Radiohead's own music still appears on Spotify. On Sunday, Yorke tweeted an explanation his arguments: "Make no mistake new artists you discover on #Spotify will no get paid. meanwhile shareholders will shortly being rolling in it. Simples."
Yorke's highly publicized move against Spotify is unlikely to stir more than a ripple against the music industry's move toward streaming services. His fight recalls Pearl Jam...

Pick Of The Week: New The Perks Of Being A Wallflower (Summit) Alterna-kids of yesterday and today will find a lot to like about The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, writer-director Stephen Chobsky’s adaptation of his own bestselling 1999 Ya novel. Driven by a soundtrack that includes The Smiths, Sonic Youth, Galaxie 500, Cocteau Twins, and David Bowie—these youngsters may be tormented, but they have exquisite taste in music—the film stars Logan Lerman as a shy, bookish high-school freshman who falls into a clique with a pair of upperclassmen (Emma Watson and Ezra Miller) who take him ...
